Noble's forehead crinkled; Macnair was into men, but had a son, and that just didn't make any sense to him. Macnair also seemed like a relatively normal person. But so did Ford, and — maybe Noble was just terrible at reading people?

He was cut short by Ford's next sentence, and looked up at his brother, wide-eyed. "I didn't say — I never said that," he said. Underneath his thoughts he'd certainly been thinking it, but he'd never said it. "I just don't — understand — why." Why would men — rational men, men that Noble talked to every day — choose that? Especially when they had a wife, like Macnair did.
